Another ḥadīth:
Imām Aḥmad (1) said: ʿUthmān ibn ʿUmar narrated to us; al-Mustamir ibn al-Rayyān narrated to us; Abu Naḍrah narrated to us, from Abu Saʿīd, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:

Al-Bukhārī alone transmitted it (7); Muslim did not. Some have related it from Ribʿī on the authority of Ḥudhayfah, both as a marfūʿ report and as a mawqūf statement as well (9). And Allah knows best.
